GENDER
Hipline’s movement classes are open to all women & persons of marginalized genders. We welcome anyone on the gender spectrum who has experienced any form of gender oppression.
About Us
Hipline is more than a dancefloor. It’s a space for belonging. Our community is multi-racially inclusive of women and persons of marginalized genders. Our classes and programs center on non-judgment, empathy, and joy. Movement is our medium because we believe that creativity, self-expression, and wellbeing begin with our bodies. Our classes welcome any dance/fitness level. Our choreographers come from various dance, movement, and fitness backgrounds, leading with their unique styles, spirits, techniques, and playlists. You can expect each class to be infused with heart, creativity, fun, and often, some booty-shaking.
Hipline was born from the desire to connect, learn, and grow; in addition to our classes, we offer various programs and community events available to Hipliners focused on pleasure and social justice. We’re committed to honoring, respecting, and being aware of everyone’s autonomy and differences. Through the co-creation of this safe space, Hipline is a place where you can lose your breath, catch your breath, embody your power, witness your capabilities, and let yourself run free. Please note, we have zero tolerance for disrespecting boundaries.
Come to connect, create space, take up space, and care for yourself—all of you is welcome. Check out out FAQ page.

Testimonials
Just go. Beautiful community, great space, very welcoming. I felt so welcomed.
Carly she/her
This place is a safe space. I have always felt very welcome and happy being there. The owner is wonderful, and so are the instructors. I wish my schedule allowed me more time slots to go to more classes. If you have a flexible schedule, getting the monthly membership is awesome!
Try out all the classes you want. That's the best.
Deyanira she/her
Hipline has literally saved me during the COVID shutdown. The online livestream classes are amazing -- the instructors have great energy and personal interactions, and the choreography is challenging and fun. Thank you for keeping us dancing, Hipline team!
Sejal she/her
I am so grateful for Hipline. I grew up with dance and stopped when I was 18, because I couldn't find classes where the emphasis was more on fun rather than technique and perfection. Grateful is the only word I can think of - so thank you thank you!
Paige she/her
I'm so lucky and grateful to have found Hipline! In person & virtual, it is euphoric to be able to dance like no one is watching and also be together in this community. Thank you!
Sharon she/her
I started attending classes at Hipline in 2019, & discovered an opportunity to re-connect with my body for the first time since I became a mother in 2014, a safe space for expression & release, & a structure that invited me to experience movement authentically, bringing whoever I might be on any given day. I am a member because it has literally changed the way I think about myself & my body, & because I get not just physical benefits, but emotional & mental health benefits, too. Hipline is a true gift, and I'm so grateful for all of it.
Genie she/her/hers
Since 2010, I've been re-energizing my mind, body and spirit at Hipline. This creative dance/exercise studio is a community that welcomes ALL female spirits/bodies while creatively welcoming evolution of the mind and spirit through workshops, and meaningful conversations.
Liz she/her
I’ll admit, I passed by the studio for 10 years on my way to TJs, and thought it wasn’t for me — is it a cult? But once I tried it, I quickly found out that it IS a cult — a cult of positive energy and encouragement, body and color positivity, and embracing movement of all types. My kind of cult.
Adriane she/her
I appreciate Hipline and everything that you do for our community. I just finished class & it made me think of how much Sunday class has helped me through the pandemic when I was feeling pretty low during shelter-in-place. Hipline is truly an amazing space for all of us and I'm so thankful for this wonderful studio!
